The Soul Sessions Vol.2 reasserts Stone’s original prime, reprising the cover versions approach that sparked her international fame back in 2003. Stone actually seems to come most alive when she’s ripping into established material. She’s often been lambasted for what seem like transatlantic affectations but it’s hard to fault her prowess on this Nashville-recorded set, from the wickedly raunchy production of I Got The Blues (originally by The Rolling Stones) to her breathy take on Womack & Womack’s Teardrops.
